- Tagged Image File Format (TIFF),
stores many different types of images (e.g., monochrome, greyscale,
8-bit & 24-bit RGB, etc.) -> tagged
- Developed by the Aldus Corp. in the 1980's and later
supported by the Microsoft
- TIFF is a lossless format (when not utilizing the new JPEG tag
which allows for JPEG compression)
- It does not provide any major advantages over JPEG and is not
as user-controllable it appears to be declining in popularity
